Magpie and Brave

"Time for the paper" I opened my door, loving falls' chilly breeze
A raven lay crying, fearing the shadows surrounding my old barren tree

A crow circled the darkening sky eying the trapped young raven
Swooped down victoriously over his prey pecking his skull till craven

"Your own fault" I dismissed the raven, "another life returned to sand"
Then, from the shadows of my barren tree, emerged a rook with gun in hand

"Human Cookie cut-out" He raged, "disregarding all, but, your own life and death
A shot rang out , piercing her heart, instantly stealing her breath

Laying together eternally, side by side they share a grave,
Their epitaphs scrawled on a boulder read simply "Magpie" and "Brave"
